Squier, Chief of the Signal Corps, told of Pershing' need for a mcterological expert in testifying before the House Appropriations Committee. "We have learned to our surprise," snid CiCnera Squier, "that there are certain new and highly scientific branches of war being developed in Frame, and the Signal Service is railed on to develop them here. "Genera! Perehing has decided he must have some one to forecast the weather, and the Signal Corp must develop that man.

WASHINGTON, September 17 cent Dromotion of Chancellor Michaelis from a captain of the reserve . . to the rank of a lieutenant-colonel is sharply criticised by a large part of the liberal press. The Socialistic organs protest this new evidence of ridiculous militarism and the progressive Mcunchener Neuste Nachrichten says "Was this promotion really necenat a time when the coat oj a soldier has too serious a meaning for a parade uniform? Does the chan - cellor, the highest official of the empire, need any military rank to be able to fill his place with honor and distinction? If Mr. Michaelia proves himself the, right man to lead Ger many to a strong- and secure future, nobody will ask whether ha only reached Mm rank of a lance corporal or that of staft officer in kit military career."

MARKET REPORTS INDIANAPOLIS LIVESTOCK. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September 17. Fresh receipts of 4,000 hogs, together with ' around 1,000 layovers from the close of last week proved fully as manjj as necessary to supply the demand this morning. There was a luck of outside interest for heavy hogs and it finally developed that local killers ottered $18.40, or 10c lower than the close of last week, for the good hogs averaging from 160 pounds, up. There were a few sales at a premium, but not enough to affect the general average of the day and the extreme top for the day was 118.50. CATTLE Receipts of 1,800 cattle seemed a hip run for Monday, but with a good demand from all sourecs prices in force ut the close of last week were well maintained and the market was steady. As usual on Mon day there were not many and in some lines none good enough to bring top prices. Bulls sold in line with other calves and a run of 600 calves was far too many and they suffered a loss of from B0c(a $1. The demand for stockers and feeding cattle from the rural districts was very small, but other buyers bought them ut fully ateaiiy price. CHICAGO LIVESTOCK.
